Hi all

Just put a deposit down on a 2000 2.7 Terrano.
Been green laning on bikes a few years now (2003 Honda XRV 750 Africa Twin and now a 1991 Suzuki DR 350)and had a 2002 Jeep GC 4.8 V8 Overland a few years ago which I loved!

My Terrano seems fairly well sorted with a lift kit, bull bar and spots, snorkel, CB, waxoyled, 4x new mud tyres and stainless exhaust. Plus all common areas seem to be solid (rear seatbelt anchor points/etc).

Looking forward to getting it next week and getting out with her!

Located in Portsmouth, UK.

Hopefully meet some of you on the lanes!

John

HI john and welcome, not so many on here now, but I am still here, hopefully see you at Slindon or Piccadilly wood come Sept/Oct, far too dry at the mo no mud, Rick

ps if you find any lanes worth doing I am game, Rick

Yeah, looks almost deserted on here 😂
At least there’s a load of historical posts to be able to dig into if I have an issue!

I do a bit of the TET around this way and there are a few sections that would be 4x4 passable (TET is aimed at bikes so a lot of single track). I’ll see if I can work out a 4x4 route…..

That would be good, I do Slindon and Piccadilly wood both near Brighton but so far this year they are both too dry, unless we have a lot of rain they will not be worth going till October at least, Rick
